'IiU LONDON JOUR.NAPS. D 4174 Axtracts pont the MorriniPapers, Jan. 23, 1826. [stows.) POST.] There will be few questions brought under the consideration of Parliament in the ensuing Ses. Oka, more important, or upon which more angry feelings are likely to be kindled, than that which relates to the 'condition •of the Negro Slaves in' our West India Colonies. Yet, if there be any one stabject which, more than all others, should be approached with calm and dispassionate views, it is this. Feeling strongly, as we do the desire of seeing every practicable measure adopted for the amelioration of slavery, as well as for its event ualextioction, wecannot but deprecate all attempts to precipitate the steps which it may be in the contemplation of Government to take,for effecting that object. We are not sorry to see the opinion of the country publicly expressed in favour of the, declared intentions of Ministers. On the con trail, there is in that a moral support, which enables them to proceed with undoubting firm nese, as' we are sure they will always do with prudence and caution. But we deeply 'regret that exuberance of zeal which, in its effect, can only retard the gaining of a common object, by exciting the passions where reason and the higher sentiments should alone be,consulted. If tavern speeches are to abound with abuse and the most outrageous charges against .a large, powerful, and respectable body of men—and if the Govern ment is to be goaded to adopt precipitate and' violent measures, then we think that the death. day of our Negro Shivery is far more distant than we had hoped to see it, and that the delay is chargeable upon those who think fit to adopt such a course. Education and a vast change in the moral condition of the Slaves are impe riously demnnded as preliminaries even to en tertaining the question of their emancipation. These things have been provided for by the (government, backed by an unanimous declara tion of the Legislature. It is true that some unworthy, but, perhaps, not wholly inexcusable, ieluctance has been evinced by the Colonists to act in conformity with the recommendations they have received. The latest accounts, however, seem to indicate a better spirit ; and we believe that neither unfounded alarm nor unjust prejudice will long blind them to the necessity as well as the advantage of following the course which shall be prescribed by the Executive. Satisfied with the disposition and the power of the Government, we should' say—let public opinion be temperately expressed, and let no vulgar passions be inflamed for, the purpose of giving a shew of false strength to a cause which cannot ba otherwise than strong in its own goodness—and then leave the work in the hands of those who have shewn themselves most competent and most willing to effect its safe and happy consummation—the Ministers of the Crown. [IOOIiNING ttcfAr.u.l noWeVer inconvenient the existence of the great cattle market in Smithfield may appear to many people, the miliaria given against its rein°. vat by several of the speakers at the late meeting of the Common Council nppear to us to be satis factory nod unanswerable ;---a proof, we thiuk, how much more wisely the corporate hotly is em ployed in regulating the internal affair's of the city itself, than in instructing, as they are migh tily fond of doing, the King and his Ministers how to govern the, nation. Some of the orators, we allude to said Upon this occasion —first, that the' removal of the market to the north of the city would not prevent, the cattle 'wanted for the Victualliog-yard, and other places to the south, being driven, us they are at present, through the streets ; and that to remove the market at all would be to deprive the city of 'a malarial branch of its trade. In this Nape re. aiark;we most-cordially agree, and areglad to' see a body of tradesmen, such as the' Common Council, so properly alive to the main efianeeH Though we have ourselves been the Warm' and constant advocates of every` substantial and eiree tualmeans of improving all quarters of the rrie tr op Os, yet it cannot be denied that very M., (Great modes of improvement are applicable 'to the City and Court ends of the town; and that in the former any plan which linuld tend to change time character-oP the City front a place or met chart. dixe and of immense traffic, to handsome but' solitary streets and squares, would be as absurd.. 111 as attempt to convert the Thames into a mere receptacle' ; for pleasure-beats and gondolas.

And why so ? but because he had no business there. We should be glad to see the streets in the city widened, as well as paved, cleansed, and lighted better than at least some of them are, We also wish, as long as we live, to see Tharnes.street thronged with carts and sugar hogsheads ; and Smithfield, under proper regulations, the market for that supply of food to the metropolis which cannot be dispensed with. [BRITISH PitEBB.3 The French Papers which arrived last night, bring further intelligence from Russia. The accession of the Emperor Nicholas has been con-. firmed by the peaceful and unanimous adhesion of the civil and military authorities of Moscow. Previously to the ceremony of swearing allegiance to the new Sihereign, the Archbishop publicly read the will (if the late Emperor in the Cathe& rill. From this procedure, as well as from a letter written by the Grand Duke Constantine, on the 20th of December, to the Minister of Jus tice., disclaiming the imperial title, by which dur ing the interregnum, we had been addressed in art official report by that 'Minister, it ap pears that the abdi cation' of the Cesaro. wit Sch was certainly not voluntary, though his sacred - regard to the oath he had taken forbad him for an instant to think of violating it. He states this expressly in his epistle to the Mi nister of Justice. lie submits himself "to the will manifested by his late Imperial Majesty." On the 31s k t of December a proclamation was issued respecting the mutiny of 'the 26th. This document divides the guilty into two classes— those who were misled by their mistaken fidelity to Constantine, and those who availed themselves of the oath to the Cesnrowitsch,only as a• pretext for treason. The designs of the latter, we are told; had been " matured in darkness." Their object Was " to cast Clown the throne and the laws, to everturn the empire, and to produce anarchy." We shall wait to see how these allegations are supported by subsequent evidence. At present we' confess we are somewhat incredulous. If they had reVolutionary designs, in such a country as Russia,' they rather deserve the seclusion of a lunatic aiiylum than the punishment of high tree son. No project could be More outrageously ab surd, nor would any set of men have been less disposed to carry it into execution than the in struments with which they 'had commenced the undertaking. His imperial Majesty forgives the misled, but declares his determination to in flict the utmost rigour on the guilty. He will destroy the evil spirit 66 to the very roots." In stead of this denunciation, how much better won't] a general act of grace have become the accession of the, new Monarch, excepting from its operation only those who were actually concern ed in the death of General Miloradowitsch and the other officers who perished in the mutiny. [THE FULILIC LEDGER.] Last night we received the Akan:eine Zeitung to the 15th, Frankfort Papers to the same date, and the Austrian Observer to the 10th instant. These Papers have no news from St. Petersburgh, Warsaw, or Turkey, that the reader is not already acquainted with ; and we have 'searched in vain the columns of the Austrian Observer, for the intelligence which the Moils pretended some days since to have extracted from it, respecting the ceremony of taking the oath by Constan tine. We have therefore no hesitation in pro flouncing the extract a forgery ; and the friends of the European system, which the Emperor Nicolas has, pledged himself to support, must be : reduced to an awkward dilemma, to have recourse to shifts like this. This fabricated extract % joined to the impenetrable mystery in which the Cesarowitch keeps his designs shroud ed, betrays the fears, of which the latter is al ready the object; and we are greatly mistaken, if he will not soon justify them by bii conduct. In the:mean time, his apparent acquiescence in intrigue, which has excluded him from the throne shews a self.command, that will probably enable him at last to. triumph ov e r hi s enem i es , as i t i s clearly tho wisest course he could have taken, seeing that all the chief commands in the empire are entrusted to creatures of the new Em peror, or rather of the Empress-Mother, of whom the former is clearly the tool and the de puty. Had he vindicated at first his right to the throne, he would probably before now have ex- Piatcd his rashness, ,in a manner not unusa! amongst. the Princes of his House, as he had no organized purty to support himi either at Court or in the army ; ant! to trust to a sudden explo. sion of, feeliug in Ilk favour would be the act of a' reckless adventurer. Ile seems to proceed with a deliberation, ‘thich must appal the cabal who have set the crown upon the head of a raw, timid, and inexperienc e d str i p li ng , t h at they may command m in . his name. I n the meantime, Con itati t, I !te reains 'stationary at W arsaw i n the midst of an army and Court, zealously devoted to his in terests, and where he is perfectly safe from fraud 'or ViOlence. There he can securely await the effects of his , popularity amongst the Russian troops, and watch any movement that the nobi lity, particularly in, the ancient capital of the Em pire, may show a disposition to make in his favour, Or rather in support of the: regular Order of sue cessiob. ft is rather remarkable that there has been no intelligence' from Mosco'w since the death of Alexander; and as that city is a hot.bed of discontent, m i accoont—of the abs e nc e o f th e Court, as well as other.causes that we have not time to enumerate, we, are extremely •anxious to, learn what impression has been made there by an occUrrence, so . “ well calculated. stir up its EaCri4 144pGRIS. . • - ' trtia TIMES.) , . . , I..diui. tint night w r e 'received, by Express from Paris, 'the Etoile of Saturday, with the Journals Of' Friday. ']'h e P.:toile contains an important do othrtent, the 'lrocliktiintioli of the Emperor Ni cholas to his subjects' oit the event of the ‘26tli of 'December, its origin, and its CollBequepeps. The 'Eriiivror,..spititti iii Wrath distinct terms of a con spirltcy • to' overturn 'th throne, lie b. , 1 6 —the gredC,Miiii of the—histirgents' knew nothing of 1 this' • hat it was a de s i gn l on g me dit a t e d In secret ; the mystery is now discovere4l, and 'justice forbids to - spure the guilty. , Front ail t h e sources of information which we have been able to con sult, we collect with tolerable certainty, that the folly and wickedness of the Secret Societies, which have produced so many revolutions in different parts of the Continent, bad crept into the ranks of the Russian army. The political freemasonry of the Carbonari, Illuminati , &c., had found propagators ; but they were few in number, and their revolutionary plans were cloaked under the pretence of a regard for the oath of allegiance to Constantine.— Hence many well-intentioned but ignorant sol. diers became their tools, and the result was the unhappy insurrection of the 20th of December. The accounts from St. Petersburg!), however, come up to the 4th instant, on which day all was quiet ; the conspirators appear to have been re garded with HUI.: interest or compassion by the great mass of the people, who looked upon the Will of the late anperor Alexander as an indis putable ground of succession to the Throne ; and this document, it appears, unequivocally appointed Nicholas to the Empire. The oath of allegiance to Nicholas was taken with great solemnity at Moscow. The obsequies of General Miloradowitsch were performed with still greater pomp at St. Petersburgh ; and the new Sovereign began his reign by several acts of grace and favour to the Soldiers and Officers who had distinguished themselves by their loyalty. [THE TIMES] Although there is no , subject with which our ears have been more fatigued, or the public mind in a manner saturated, than that of Irish grieve ances, their (supposed) causes, and their proper remedies (supposed In most cases also), the whole subject is nevertheless of a nature to force its way still further upon the attention, so real, so manifold, and we may add so urgent, are the in terests whiclrit involves, and which are threaten ed with the most serious consequences if the timely consideration of it he abandoned. A pamplet has been addressed to Sir Francis Bur dett by Mr. Sturch, entitled " The Grievances of Ireland, their causes, and their remedies," which, for the reasons above hinted at, may deserve some attention from our Statesmen. The author appears to be an honest man, not free from his political bias, but intending well, and not chargeable with many or important errors in his facts. But we would submit, that in writing upon the affairs of Ireland at this day, it might be as well to lighten the 'task of discussion by avoiding those common-places of Irish history which throw no light upon the present coudition of the country. We have little to do with the conquest by Henry 11., or with the successive conflicts from his day to the Revolution, which were just so many trials wisother au antecedent or a subsequent spoiler should retain the fruits of his invasion. We all know that the Reformation was mismanaged in Ireland, chiefly because the church property of the island was not made a fund for the support of such ministers as had the faculty of addressing the people in their own tongue, but of others who, being privileged to enjoy the revenue without the con difion of earning it by the performance or spiritual duty, were held as mere taxgatherers, and their plea of religion us a humbug. We all know, likewise, that the treaty of Limerick was not held sacred, as it ought to have been, by those who gained a kingdom through the faith reposed in it by the conquered. What has that to do with the immediate grievances of Ireland ? The grand one of all, is the heart-breaking, the horrible state of want and wretchedness endured by the bulk of the people. Hunger, nakedness, igno rance, idleness, prejudice, ferocity, proneness to tumult, are the obvious marks which have branded for whole centuries our miserable and much-to be-pitied fellow-subjects. Their great want Is, that of a gradation of ranks, to furnish em ployment, and to create hopes of better. ing their condition, for those who constitute the lowest rank of all. The subdivision of pro party is nutit is a derivativ e ev il, springing from a n tloterigtal, wantilof a demand for industry in any form but that of agriculture. The 40s. freehold acts, also, we acknowledge, in Ireland, us a calamity, and might, perhaps, justify a practical lawgiver in considering it with different eyes, and treating, it on distinct principles from those which ought to govern such un, institution here, where co.existing and remedial causes are found in the very nature of a rich and commercial community. These, one all, deserve deep reflection : who denies it ? But one source of benefit is seldom . taken into account by declaimers on the Irish mi. sery—viz. the lapse of many years, even under the wisest institutions. The most active political mischief now at, work in Ireland is the abuse of a worthy cause by those who have embarked in it, and who, unfortunately, will neither admit resCraint nor accept advice in its management. In their hands, we do not scruple to say—first, that their own cause will never succeed ; secondly, that they will superinduce, upon its failure, an aggravation of every other , evil (besides that of the penal laws) under which the country is tormented. [MORNING cum:trim - A.l An unpleasant circumstance occurred on Fri day afternoon, which, although attended with no ill conse quences, still shows the necessity of extreme caution in the ad. heating the accou n t s on t h e part o f B an k ers . T he cheques of a ighly respectable member of the Stock Exchange were re turned dishonoured, in censcquence of his banker having passed to, a wrong account a large sum which he had paid in, and which, until the blunder was corrected; placed him in a very awkward predicament. The mistake was too obvious to affect hip, credit ladle slightest degree. There was a great deal of speculation . in the New 4 per Cents. which no doubt will re. main in a very feverish state until the uncertainty respecting a new Loarrshall have been removed. On Friday afternoon the New Fplir per Cents. touched J 64, but soon after the cont monument of business on Saturday morning fell to 914, being within a fraction of the lowest quotation during last week, but rose about one half per cent. in the course of the afternoon. The transictiorks in thi s . S tock appear to be very littl e connected with these of the Three per Cent. Annuities. The unfevour. able charade!' of the intelligence derived from the East Indies had a very in arises; effect on India Stock, which, in all proba. Tinuld.,bave been lower, but for, the_ very few bargains r»ade in it. On the opening of India Stock, subsequent to the last -at 240i44114 .on payment of the dividends, it was sold as high as 243, on 'Monday Saturday, notwithstanding_ the brisk de. mind for every other kind of finial:, it tell to 233. In Indi a Honda, which are more regulated by local matters, there was no material alteration.. However great the scarcity of money _ge. nerally in th e Ci ty , it was quite as abundant at the Stock Ex r.change on S atur d ay as during any other part of the week, aria the current r ate of interest cannot be State d to exceed 3 per cent.
